Do you have unshielded speakers? Remove them and see if the problem disappears. The magnets are probably causing an issue.

Erm no its happened on my car where the speakers are quite far above the moniter as in approx 1.5" away.

Its never been a problem before but suddenly over the last week or so its been getting terrible.

When i lift the cab front its still there but more noticeable.

Added a Old pic of the front of the cab open you can see speaker placement is right at the top.

That looks like a commercial cab, I thought you might have a homebuilt one. You can try to get a degaussing coil and see if that clears it up.
